My Heroic Grandmother by: Harel R

1972 picture of Bracha



Bracha was a holocaust survivor. She was only 6 in Romania when Romanian authorities came to take her away to Russia. Most Jews who went to Russia were taken to extermination or work camps, but she and her family were hidden by a Russian family. She was very ill at times having almost nothing to eat. When she was 11 the Germans were defeated and the Jews were free. Bracha had it rough, but she survived.

10 facts on the HolocaustFact 1. Hitler killed the "incurably ill"Fact 2. Hitler had BROWN hair and blue eyesFact 3. Jews had an actually pleasant life before the HolocaustFact 4. It started in 1933 and ended in 1945
Fact 5. In addition to Jews, the Nazis targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the disabled for persecution.
Fact 6. The term "Nazi" is an acronym for "Nationalsozialistishe Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" ("National Socialist German Worker's Party").
Fact 7. An estimated 1.1 million children were murdered in the Holocaust.
Fact 8. When the Nazis decided to kill the remaining Jews in a ghetto, they would "liquidate" a ghetto by boarding the last Jews in the ghetto on trains.
Fact 9. While concentration camps were meant to work and starve prisoners to death, extermination camps (also known as death camps) were built for the sole purpose of killing large groups of people quickly and "efficiently".
Fact 10. Prisoners transported to these extermination camps were told to undress to take a shower. Rather than a shower, the prisoners were herded into gas chambers and killed. (At Chelmno, the prisoners were herded into gas vans instead of gas chambers.)



My personal thoughts on the Holocaustby: Evelyn Clissold
I, like most people, absolutely HATE the holocaust. My teacher told me that hate is a strong word, and I should only use it in extreme situations. I truly believe the Holocaust deserves the word hate. Still, there are good things in the Holocaust such as survivors. These are my thoughts.
